james, Do the math. President Clinton asked for $6.3b US Dollars today to finance the war in the Balkans for the next few weeks.
2,000 Kosovo rebels died before the war started. Two mass graves potentially have been identified from the air- one holding 100 persons, the other maybe 200. Assume everything is true and then add in another 2,000 casualties to boot. Now divide the 4,300 casualties by $6,300,000,000 and figure out the cost of an air war to save these 4,300 Albanian casualties.
2,000,000 Sudanese Africans have been killed in the genocide fomented by the National Islamic Front Military Junta in the Sudan. Now if we are conducting wars for humanitarian reasons- would we not get a better deal in total people saved in the Sudan? |
